Considering that the purpose of an object-relational mapping layer is
to 'persist' some set of objects which are instances of some set of
classes by autogenerating the SQL statements necessary to store the
data contained in this objects instances in some set of tables managed
by a RDBMS and to recreate the equivalent object instances from the
data in the database, the concept seem singularly ill-suited to Perl
because there is no such thing as 'the Perl object representation' --
an object instances is a reference blessed into a package defining
some set of methods: The reference can be a reference to anything Perl
can create references to and how precisely 'the reference' is linked
to the actual instance data is left to the implementation of the
class.
